Economic Organization: Towards Theoretical Synthesis
https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2006-2-99-155
Abstract
Constructive criticism of new institutional and resource-based approaches in the theory of the firm is conducted in the article, allowing to outline elements of the synthetic approach to the studies of economic organization. In the course of market replacement by the firm, novel and unique qualities arise, organization-specific knowledge and particular system of social relationships in the first turn. Necessary elements of the synthetic theory should include the analysis of specific productivity, specific social interactions within the firm, and organization-specific knowledge.
